Lainey Wilson turned heads at the SXSW premiere of her Netflix documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool, on March 17, 2026. The 33-year-old country singer added a rockstar twist to her usual bell-bottom style with a daring outfit that highlighted her incredible 20-pound weight loss.
A Bold, Stylish Look
Wilson looked stunning in a sheer lace shirt, worn over a black leather bra that featured silver stud detailing. She paired this with tight leather pants and accessorized with a silver-studded belt and a black cowgirl hat, making a striking appearance. Her outfit not only stood out but also showcased her trim waist and flat stomach, a visible result of her lifestyle changes over the past year.
Fitness Regimen and Diet Changes
In 2023, Lainey Wilson embraced a new fitness routine that helped her shed 20 pounds. She worked closely with a personal trainer and revamped her diet, incorporating more fruits and vegetables while cutting out sugar, dairy, and processed foods. She shared her typical meals in a 2023 interview, saying she enjoys scrambled eggs for breakfast, yogurt or salads for lunch, grilled chicken for dinner, and snacks like hummus and almonds.

Wilson's weight loss journey came after she teamed up with a trainer and focused on making healthier food choices. The combination of exercise and better eating habits has led to noticeable changes in her appearance, which she proudly displayed at the premiere.
Clearing Up the Weight Loss Rumors
As Lainey’s slimmer look caught the attention of her fans, rumors began to spread. Some fake advertisements claimed that she had lost 70 pounds by using weight loss gummies, and even suggested that she had been hospitalized because of her weight loss. Lainey was quick to shut down these rumors in a June 2023 Instagram video, saying, "I am sure some of you have seen some ads about me losing weight and being hospitalized and taking some weight loss gummies blah blah blah to save my life, well surprise, it ain't true."
She continued, addressing the fake claims, “People will do whatever to make a dollar, even if it is lies. Cause ain't nobody sent me any gummies."

She explained that her weight loss was a result of hard work and dedication, particularly from performing long shows and maintaining a busy schedule. "If I have lost weight it's because I am working hard playing hour-and-a-half shows and running around every night of my life," she said.
Lainey also made it clear that her weight, whether gained or lost, had nothing to do with her music. "To be honest, me losing weight or gaining weight ain't got anything to do with my music," she said, adding that she didn’t want fans to fall for false advertising.
Staying Disciplined with Meal Prep
While Lainey doesn’t deprive herself, she has developed a disciplined approach to eating. She admitted to enjoying dark chocolate every day, saying, “Even if it's just a little piece of candy, I've got to have my dark chocolate.” However, she also emphasized the importance of meal prepping to stay on track. “I really do enjoy meal prepping and having things handy,” she said. “When you don’t have those things handy, that's when you mess up and eat something that makes you feel bad.”
Her dedication to staying on track with her health, along with the changes she’s made to her diet and exercise routine, have helped Lainey Wilson achieve the results she’s proud of today.
